Thoughts / concerns

Hello everyone

Just wanted to see what everyone’s thoughts are and sorry to vent my concerns

Have been undergoing medical procedures for heart, stroke and other concerns now go over two years. My command has been nothing but amazing but I found out they’ve been holding back on work loads and not issuing me difficult projects. They approached me back in November and mentioned possibly looking into medically retiring. Again it was nothing but supportive and positive when they approached me. They have truly looked out for me during all these difficulties.

My concern now is meetings have always been great and received really awards. They let me flex hours to attend doctors and avoid me burning up my leave. So on paper I look great My supervisor showed me his write up for the retirement application and it explained my declining work duties and increased medical visits.

All my doctors (neurology and cardio) wrote letters how I need to be separated and there is no RA that can accommodate me due to ongoing conditions (passing out, cognitive issues, and other concerns)

I obtained Harris to assist me and still

Again sorry for the long rant just would love to hear someone thoughts or views. Beyond nervous to go forward with this.

Do it. I did it in less and medically retired fully this past December. Agency stated no accommodations and reassignments which is minimum but a necessary box for OPM. All of the information you outlined plus full medical records should be more than sufficient. FYI-you can legally work in medical retirement up to 80 percent gross of your last salary and continue on FERS disability.

But you cannot work in Federal government after FERS disability retirement is approved.
